To Kill a Mockingbird

Harper Lee's iconic novel To Kill a Mockingbird was adapted for screen and Gregory Peck played the upright Atticus Finch, the lawyer who takes up the case of a black man who's accused of raping a white woman in the racially-charged time of 1960s America.

Finch's rousing arguement in the film is one of the most memorable scenes and sits at number eight.
